    IE History Viewer for IE8

    For years I've been using IEHV to pull up the internet history on remote computers on the network. I simply find their history folder on their local profiles, copy it down to my box, run the software and point it to the copied folder. VOILA! With IE8 though, I can't seem to find the handy...

    Analog DVI problems

    The monitor does not work with DVI to get to the BIOS. Gotta be a hardware problem. I just tested the DVI cable with another computer and my old monitor. Cable's fine. Son of a $#@# I hate getting new hardware that's DOA. Think I should return it to newegg or try working with the vendor...

    Analog DVI problems

    Hello everyone. I've got a 19" viewsonic VA912b. It can take both DVI and analog inputs. I've been running it on the DVI for years now and recently I built myself a new rig. The new video card only spits out DVI but for some reason my monitor doesn't want to play nice. I can only get it...

    Is my PSU too weak?

    This is a MUST have tool in any computer geek's toolkit. It's simple, plug it into the wall, then plug your computer into it and you can monitor how many watts your pulling at any given time. I hear a lot of people asking if their PSU is powerful enough. Instead of reading through specs and...

    Can a std 32-bit PCI card work in a 64-bit PCI slot?

    According to the spec sheet, on that server Quote: "Expansion support includes four 64-bit, 33Mhz PCI expansion slots". I'm gonna try it. Worst case scenario, the server freezes up and I have to find a different solution. Thanks for the help guys.

    Can a std 32-bit PCI card work in a 64-bit PCI slot?

    I've got and old HP ML330 G3 server and it does not have USB 2.0, only 1.1. I'm looking to add a USB 2.0 PCI card in the server but it only has 64-bit PCI slots. My question is this. Will old school 32-bit PCI cards work and/or fit in 64-bit slots? Is this a stupid thing to do? I'm having...

    Best way to clean out old computer accounts in 2003 AD

    Thanks for the tip, but I must be doing something wrong. I can do a dsquery on user accounts, even list computer account via description, but for some reason, it just doesn't like the dsquery computer domainroot -inactive command... *scratches forehead* I'll keep plugging away at it, maybe...

    Best way to clean out old computer accounts in 2003 AD

    While adding/removing computers from the network over the years, I've added and removed many computer accounts from our 2003 Active Directory. Can someone tell me how I'd be able to tell which of these computer accounts has been inactive, and for how long so I can do some spring cleaning safely?

    I've got a situation where I need to replace a monitor, but the problem is that the satellite office where the system is located gets down to whatever temperature it is outside, even 0F. That is of course until the users starts up his space heater. yes yes, the obvious answer is to just tell...

    Google the next internet provider?

    I read this this story back in 2005 about Google buying up dark fiber. That combined with a recent posting about how Google wants a fair shake in buying up the 700Mhz band makes me wonder. Is Google planning on being the next broadband internet access provider? I mean, given their...

    IBM Laptop alternative for Enterprise

    Our company like many others have standardized on IBM laptops for a very long time. Forget price, forget features, IBM?s in my mind for years have been top notch in terms of hardware reliability compared to other laptop manufacturers out there. I have noticed however ever since IBM moved their...

    New Virus. (not yet documented) MSNSCHED.EXE

    I don't know if it was a virus or a bug... I DO know it screwed up my Kronos/ShopTrack server. It's a server that monitors these clocks on the shop floor... monitors production in real time... SQL based. That server sends out and receives a lot of network information... I'm thinking the...

    Internal network speed test program ?

    My personal favorite is DU-Meter. There's also a sum tool too so you measure just how much data you're actually sending and receiving. http://www.download.com/DU-Meter/3000-2155-10127470.html?tag=lst-0-1

    Anyone know if Doom III is supposed to support 5.1 audio?

    I'm not sure that it does but I am sure of one thing. Trent Resnor from Nine Inch Nails was heavily involved in the DOOM3 project. I can't remember if he was the one who did ALL the sound effects, but I know he did a lot of them. Trent's stuff is TOP QUALITY! He's one of the first major...

    Why are the clients on network restricted to 10mbits?

    first time experience with VPN (cisco)

    When you're at school, browse the network and create shortcuts to whatever servers you think you're going to use. When you get home you still won't be able to "browse" the network, but those shortcuts will work 'cause that vpn client changes your wins and dns settings. If this computer isn't a...

    It sounds like there isn't a DHCP server on your network. If that's the case, you might need to assign a static IP to that adapter. Find out what IP's the other computers have on the network and pick ont in that range. ex. If another computer has the following IP IP. 192.168.0.52 Subnet...
